alabama's right-to-work status gives alabama a strong economic advantage over forced union states. for example, 69% of jobs reshored from overseas back into america between 2010 and 2019 have gone to right-to-work states. u.s. commerce department data, adjusted for cost-of-living differences, revealed 2019's manufacturing job pay in right-to-work states averaged $83,000 per employee. $4,000 more than in forced union states. that is a big difference in pay. according to bureau of labor statistics data, right-to-work states overall job growth was a robust 11% over the past decade versus a meager 2.4% in forced union states. when that data is limited to manufacturing jobs only, right-to-work states over the past decade enjoyed a very good 9.1% increase in manufacturing jobs while forced union states had a horrible .2% cut in manufacturing jobs. better yet, 2018 census data reveals after tax mean income per household, after cost-of-living adjustment was $64,072 in right-to-work states versus $60,244 in forced union states. that's on average $4,328 more real adjusted for cost-of-living
